A
tourist's guide to the most interesting places to photograph the
full moon!

Sitting here in the Moon House on a damp and cloud-covered
November morning with a fire hissing and popping and Chris Isaak--a
good San Francisco guy--on the stereo. I hiked to the top of Ring
Mountain to catch the sunrise and the best 360-degree view of
the Bay Area: from Mt. Tam to the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco,
the Bay Bridge, Oakland, the Richmond Bridge, and San Quentin.
A great way to celebrate the completion of my quest for the many
moons of San Francisco.

It has been an interesting sojourn that began just after the Loma
Prieta earthquake in 1989. It must have moved me in ways I cannot
consciously comprehend, but the aftershock has resulted in this
book of full moons, a seven-year journey that has brought me full
circle. I have explored the Bay Area with the pyramid as my anchor.
No matter if it was day or night, I could always find that building
in the skyline. It's good to know where you are on this planet
and after shooting thousands of images of San Francisco in the
moonlight, I feel that I am truly home.
Now that my perspective has matured, the journey complete, I thought
it only appropriate to share a few of the moments that deeply
affected me, images that are forever etched on my soul...
